Flying Trumbull
Over Hartford, Conn., last week an airplane coursed, wove figure 8’s, glided and banked faultlessly. It coasted to earth, rose again; alighted again, rose a third time. A few eyes that strained towards its flight were sycophantic; many were worried, most were proud. For operating the plane was Governor John H. Trumbull, first governor, as far as is known, to do a solo airplane flight.
